I am not sure. It certainly didn't have the "Feather Duster" stickers when I got it. It does have a few of the attributes (although the carb & intake have been upgraded as noted). Does anyone know if there is a way to identify a "Feather Duster" by VIN number, or other solid method?

SUPPORT OUR NEW RESTAURANT - BUY THIS CAR! My wife and I run a small restaurant in Miamisburg, Ohio (near Dayton). We have recently expanded, and are selling to raise cash for the build-out. This Duster has been in resto for about three years. As usual, what started out as 'just a few things'...

I am now forced to sell my beloved 1976 Duster, which has been a long-term project for the past three years. I bought this car from Texas (which means there are no rust problems). The previous owner had planned to transform it into a drag car, but did not get too far in his project before I...

As Dartman notes (thanks, by the way) this is actually a 67 & earlier block. (I changed the title.) Now that he said that, I vaguely remember the guy I bought it from referring to it as a '66. (The reason I originally posted it as a 68-74 is that the guy who pulled it out of storage for me...

Got a nice block ... bought it as a rebuild for my '76 Duster, but it ended up that the crank did not match up with the rest of the mechanicals on my vehicle. You can see from the photos it is a great block. It was rebuilt when I bought it, and the shop had it completely reassembled and ready...

They could be 6" or 7" rims, American Racing made both. The tires on them would fit either. I could try to do a measurement if the width is important. I do have two with 'decent' tires. They are not matched. One is a Goodyear Integrity, and the other is a DOuglas tire. The tread is pretty...

Can you post (or PM) a pic? I don't know all of the model years well enough to know if those are right for the '76.

UPDATE - the bolt pattern is actually 5x4 ... and I will take $250 for the set.

Need the lens for my left rear on the 1976 Duster. Anyone got any?

Hello, again! Sorry to have been slow to reply ... December is my busiest month of the year at work, and there were a lot of responses to read through. As far as the specific issues with the '63 block, I need to ask the mechanic again (it has been several months). I do have the smaller...

Hello, all! So ... I am trying to locate a good 225 motor to replace the one in my 1976 Duster, that has a cracked block. (Manual transmission) I tried a block from a '63 ... but after getting everything ready to install, my mechanic informed me that the lower end did not properly mate-up...

Need a 225 motor for my 1976 Duster Project I already have a good manual tranny, carb, intakes, etc. MOTOR NEEDS TO BE A SOLID-RUNNING PULL ... preferably recent rebuild. NEED TO VERIFY IT WILL mate-up with my 1976 Duster manual trans WILL PAY CASH ... everyone knows what the fresh...

The rims & tires are packed up at the shop. I could go and take photos, but seeing as how they are "brand new out of the box" ... a stock photo is just as good. These are a common in-stock rim by American Racing. You can find them on any site that sells AR rims. This is what they look like...

MY LOSS IS YOUR GAIN! Due to an error in planning I am stuck with a BRAND NEW (never even bolted on) full set of rims & tires! American Racing AR-23 rims and FALKEN Z-rated tires. All mounted & balanced, shiny and ready-to-go! Over $1000 invested. Here are the specs: American Racing...

Looking for a good (preferably rebuilt) 225 motor. I do NOT need intake/exhaust, carb, tranny, or other peripherals. Just a good block & head. Willing to trade a set of BRAND NEW (never even mounted on the car) American Racing Rims & Falken Tires, worth $1000. American Racing AR23...
